Hair, Hair and more Hair


 It became very evident that I would have to learn to do Boomer's hair on my own quickly. She had a beautiful FULL head of hair the day she came "home". I have watched hundreds of YouTube videos on maintaining, trimming, moisturizing, parting,combing and styling. I have looked through millions of hair style videos. Being a "peach" mama to a gorgeous "brown" diva requires a full time job in maintaining. I have been asked a few times lately "who does her hair?" I am now proud to say "I DO"!!! Boomer needs to learn to wash and brush and braid and moisturize from her mom not a hair dresser. It is a bond that mother's get to share with their daughters while doing their hair and I am not going to let anyone else take that from me!! Here is a hair journey from early on til today!! Enjoy......

 Even immediately after giving birth to 'Tank" she and I did her hair right there in my hospital bed!!

Packing Lunch

I have had a few people ask me "how difficult is packing that many school lunches each day"? Or, "what do you send that is peanut-free?" (for the record, NONE of MY kids have allergies, it is a no peanut class/school). So here is what I pack most  weeks. Ace and Boomer have microwaves in their classrooms. Tank does not so he gets a variation of this.

Monday:
Balsamic and ParmesanSalad with Turkey Chili(homemade)




Tuesday: Tacos with Guacamole packs

 Wednesday: Broccoli and Cheese soup with french bread pieces

 Thursday: Hamburger pockets with Cheese
 Friday:
Hot dogs

 Tank: Monday and Tues Lunch(cold)-Sandwiches other days
